We provide Door Installation in Palm Beach that respects the architecture of your home, whether you live in a historic property near the water or a newer build inland.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 with a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule guides how we approach double and French doors today. We do not use subcontractors or temporary labor. Our uniformed technicians are background-checked and trained to handle high-quality brands like ES Windows and CWS, ensuring the manufacturer’s warranty is honored from day one. You deserve a partner who will still be here in ten years if you need an adjustment.
When You Need Double & French Doors
Recognizing when it is time to replace your double or French doors with Entry & Swing Doors is about more than just aesthetics. In Palm Beach, our environment is hard on materials, and specific signs indicate that your current setup is no longer protecting your home as it should.
- Binding or sticking in the frame: If you have to lift or shove your door to get it to latch, the frame has likely shifted or the wood has swollen due to our high local humidity. This indicates the door is no longer square, which compromises both security and the weather seal.
- Fogging between the glass panes: Many French doors use insulated glass units. If you see condensation or a hazy, milky appearance between the layers of glass, the seal has failed. This is a common issue in our coastal climate, and it means the door is losing its energy efficiency.
- Drafts or light visible around the perimeter: If you can see daylight through the gaps when the door is closed, you are paying for air conditioning that is escaping directly outside. This is a major energy waste and can allow moisture and insects into your living space.
- Corroded hardware or hinges: Salt air is relentless in Palm Beach. If your hinges are rusting or the locking mechanism feels gritty and difficult to turn, the internal integrity of the door assembly is likely compromised, making it a security risk.
- Outdated impact ratings: Older French doors may not meet current building codes for impact resistance. If your doors were installed over 15 years ago, they may lack the laminated glass technology required to protect your home during a severe storm event.
If you notice these issues, it is often more cost-effective to replace the unit than to repeatedly repair hardware that will eventually fail again. We provide honest assessments; if a repair will get you another five years of reliable service, we will tell you. If the door has reached the end of its life, we will show you exactly why. Call (850) 801-5596 to speak with a member of our team who can help you determine the right path for your specific situation.
Our Double & French Doors Process
We believe in a predictable, transparent process. When you invite TruePane Windows & Doors into your home, you aren’t getting a high-pressure sales pitch. You are getting a technical assessment from a team that values craft over speed.
- The Initial Site Visit: We arrive on time, in uniform, and ready to work. We measure your door openings twice to ensure a perfect fit. We do not guess; we use precise measurements to account for the specific settling patterns common in Palm Beach homes.
- Side-by-Side Quote Presentation: We don’t believe in hiding costs. We present quotes for different manufacturer lines like CWS on paper, side-by-side. You will see exactly what you are paying for, including the differences in impact ratings and hardware finishes.
- The Keystone Standard Registration: Before our truck leaves your driveway after the installation, we register both manufacturer warranty layers. We do not leave this for you to figure out later. You get the paperwork in your hand, and we keep a copy on file.
- Professional Installation and Cleanup: Our technicians treat your home with respect. We remove the old doors, prep the opening, install the new units level and plumb, and seal the perimeter. We clean the job site thoroughly, leaving only your new doors behind.
- The Done Right Promise: We stand behind our work. If something isn’t right-if the door binds or a seal needs attention-we come back and fix it. There is no arguing, no paperwork maze, and no hidden fees. We make it right because that is how we have operated since 2008.
Whether you are replacing a set of patio doors or installing a new grand entry, we apply this same rigor. You can learn more about our approach to home maintenance and other services on our main page.

FAQs - Double & French Doors
How much does it cost to install French doors in Palm Beach?
Most standard French door installations in Palm Beach range from $2,800 to $6,500, with final pricing determined by the material of the frame, the impact rating of the glass, and the complexity of the existing opening. We provide detailed, upfront quotes on paper so you know exactly what you are paying for before we begin. Call (850) 801-5596 to get a free estimate for your specific project.
Is it better to repair or replace my French doors?
If your doors are binding due to minor settling or require simple hardware replacement, we can often repair them, but if the glass seal has failed, the frame is rotting, or the door is not impact-rated, replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution. Our technicians will inspect your door and give you an honest recommendation based on the condition of the unit, and if replacement is needed, we can discuss options like Storm Doors rather than just trying to sell you a new one. Contact us today for a professional assessment.
Can you match the style of my existing doors?
Yes, we work with manufacturers like ES Windows and CWS to source doors that match the aesthetic of your home, whether you have a classic, mid-century, or modern architectural style. We bring samples and manufacturer catalogs to your home so you can compare finishes and glass styles before making a decision. We prioritize finding a match that preserves the character of your home while upgrading its performance and security.
How long does the installation process take?
Most double and French door replacements are completed in a single visit, usually taking one day to remove the old unit and install the new one properly. We focus on doing the job right the first time to avoid the need for multiple trips, ensuring that your home is secure and sealed by the time we leave. If your project involves custom masonry work or complex structural modifications, we will discuss the timeline with you during your initial consultation.
